TagAnt
A freeware (non-commercial) Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagger built on TreeTagger (developed by Helmut Schmid). Permission to include TreeTagger in TagAnt has been granted on the condition that TagAnt is also bound by the TreeTagger license. This makes the license terms slightly different from those of other AntLab tools. For commercial uses of TagAnt, users must first purchase a commercial license of TreeTagger.
